Tulip 'Barre Alta'

Tulip 'Barre Alta' is a pink Triumph tulip that flowers in mid-season, adding a clear spring accent to beds and containers. Its medium height and upright, cup-shaped flowers make it useful in groups or as a cut flower. ## Seasonal Display The breeder lists Barre Alta as a pink, medium-height Triumph with a mid-season flowering period. A bulb grower gives an approximate height of 40–50 cm, which is about 16–20 inches; the exact height varies with the planting and growing conditions. The Royal Horticultural Society describes Triumph tulips as single, cup-shaped flowers that bloom in mid to late spring. ## Siting and Size Plant dry bulbs in autumn in a sunny position with free-draining soil. Use a border, a group in a lawn-edge bed, or a deep container to create a concentrated spring display. The breeder also lists this cultivar as suitable for forcing in water. ## Maintenance After flowering, remove seedheads if they form, then leave the foliage in place until it turns yellow or straw-colored so it can replenish the bulb. Border tulips may not flower reliably in later years, so replace bulbs when a dependable display matters.
